[QUOTE="village6, post: 2689327, member: 10351"] In spite of the abuse that you are already taking on this thread, I'll chime in and point out that WotC is already using this model, having tested it for some years now with their RPGA campaigns, specifically Green Regent and Eberron. They have done quarterly releases of special 'action' and 'item' cards for these two campaigns as rewards to RPGA players who play lots of their games. Their finding has been that the cards are marvelously popular among the "I want kewl powerz" demographic, and they found players in other of their RPGA campaigns asking/urging/bitching for the cards to be globally useable. So, they capitulated, and I'm quite sure that marketing has realized that anything so popular (yes, they are sold on Ebay for sometimes significant $$) can be sold for profit. So, for the naysayers, WotC is already using a variation on this theme, to (what they define as) great success. I can't say that Cowpie Zombie's source is right, but I can't say that they're wrong either. If I was a betting man, current and recent WotC trends would lead me to put my money on a 'collectible D&D' variant. Be seeing you... - 6 [/QUOTE]
